| Course description |
Dental anomalies affecting the young permanent dentition can leave children with less than ideal aesthetics. The management of such anomalies is usually multidisciplinary. In this course the students learn about such anomalies and their management and how to liaise with colleagues to achieve the best result for their patient. Students will learn the basics underlying orthodontic assessment and treatment planning to enable them to carry out a comprehensive assessment for their patients.
